Authors Norman Polmar and John D. Gresham have pooled their talents to write one of the most striking expository accounts of the Cold War, pinning the crux of their narrative on the brief but far-reaching Cuban Missile Crisis. The book's cover shows four abutting panels featuring Russian Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, an intelligence map of Cuban missile sites, President John E Kennedy and a missile being deployed. It is indicative of the key players Polmar and Gresham highlight in the text, and also of the close tension that underlies them.
